Q. Given the function f(x)=x2+10x+19 f(x)=x^{2}+10 x+19 , determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval 8x1 -8 \leq x \leq-1 .\newlineAnswer:
  1. Calculate f(8)f(-8): To find the average rate of change of the function f(x)f(x) over the interval [8,1][-8, -1], we will use the formula for the average rate of change, which is (f(b)f(a))/(ba)(f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a), where aa and bb are the endpoints of the interval.
  2. Calculate f(1)f(-1): First, we need to calculate the value of the function at the beginning of the interval, which is f(8)f(-8). We substitute x=8x = -8 into the function f(x)=x2+10x+19f(x) = x^2 + 10x + 19.\newlinef(8)=(8)2+10(8)+19=6480+19=3f(-8) = (-8)^2 + 10(-8) + 19 = 64 - 80 + 19 = 3.
  3. Find Average Rate of Change: Next, we calculate the value of the function at the end of the interval, which is f(1)f(-1). We substitute x=1x = -1 into the function f(x)=x2+10x+19f(x) = x^2 + 10x + 19.\newlinef(1)=(1)2+10(1)+19=110+19=10f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 10(-1) + 19 = 1 - 10 + 19 = 10.
  4. Calculate Average Rate of Change: Now we have the values f(8)=3f(-8) = 3 and f(1)=10f(-1) = 10. We can use these to find the average rate of change over the interval [8,1][-8, -1].\newlineAverage rate of change = f(1)f(8)1(8)=1031+8=77=1\frac{f(-1) - f(-8)}{-1 - (-8)} = \frac{10 - 3}{-1 + 8} = \frac{7}{7} = 1.
  5. Conclusion: The average rate of change of the function f(x)f(x) over the interval [8,1][-8, -1] is 11.
